A better way would be to teach her is to stay quiet álways (even when there is a cop, because it's not like the cops will abandon the school after walking around once) and when she feels nervous, to draw a heart in the air with her nose and "send it to mommy and daddy." And then they'll send a heart back and she'll likely feel that as warmth near her heart. That way, whether or not it's the last moment or the last moment-before-being-saved, she will have thought of her parents and felt loved. And kept calm and quiet. THAT is more important, because THAT is what they actually have controll over.

@brucekilby9957 And what if she trained him for this and then in the panic and rush of things, he couldn't stop himself wailing in fear or the shooter said; 'Hey! The cops are here!' and he yelled; 'Good, help us!' and the shooter came in. You can only put so much responsibility on a child facing off against a clever, weapon-carrying adult. And that responsibility is like 2%. A better way would be to teach him to stay quiet álways (even when there is a cop, because it's not like the cops will abandon the school after walking around once) and when he feels nervous, draw a heart in the air with his nose (or with his nose against the back of the backpack) and "send it to mommy and daddy." And then they'll send a heart back and he'll likely feel that as warmth near his heart.

@vickiefinney6073 You meet kids from different area's at schools, that aren't like the ones in your neighbourhood. That does not happen if you stay within your neighbourhood.

@vickiefinney6073 Well, I don't know, do you drive your kids around after school to several seperate neighbourhoods where groups of all people come together, so they can see the interactions between different groups and poor/rich kids and kids with disabilities and kids from different cultural background, that they can play with multiple times a week? That's a busy schedule for someone that is also planning homeschooling. No matter what you do, you are going to have to cut down on social interaction with other groups, otherwise you're running a very busy school/house/tourbus situation

And then, once they grow up, they will never have dealt with fights and bullying and won't know what hit them. I've known a girl that was homeschooled and the day she arrived at our school, we asked her to speak up a bit. Politely. She ran to the hallway crying, saying we were out to hurt her and that she couldn't believe we would be so mean to not even praise her. If you feel so strongly about this, I suggest you take a step further and move to Germany. Safe environment, they speak English and you'll raise the kids there.

Yeah and the thing is...in war, you're basically done for as well. They're out to get you and that's it. There is no technique in war, except the basics of 'duck down' and 'be quiet.' Other than that, you are dead within weeks, most likely. Have you seen the movie 'All quiet on the Western front?' War is not about skills or learning techniques, it's about sheer luck. Same happens with shootings. What if she trained him for this and then in the panic and rush of things, he couldn't stop himself wailing in fear or the shooter said; 'Hey!
